[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kinetiq:
Hello,

I've noticed lately strange thing in my new S3 (not branded, not rooted, official 4.1.2). I've spent Last weekend in mountains, it was about -9 celsius degree, and I had my phone in an external pocket so it had probably frozen a little. When I tried to take a picture, the screen remained dark, only the touch buttons lit. When I tried to reboot with the side button, I saw "samsung galaxy SIII..." sign, and a blue wheel, and heard the sound, but than the screen remained dark.

The phone rang for an incoming call, once I was able to answer by touching the dark screen, second time I failed to answer (obviously it got colder;)).

After moving the phone to internal pocket when it got warmer, screen got back to life.

It happend again when I put my S3 into holder in a cold car (still in the mountains - though I wouldn't connect it with the altitude above sea level ;) ).

I'm curious if it happend to someone else?

I wonder if it's due to AMOLED properities, or rather hardware malfunction?

I will contact support, but since manual recommends using the phone in 5-35 C degree temp. range, I'm affraid, they can evade.

SGS3 i9300 GSM rooted with Superuser.

I'm trying to install CM 10 but keep getting errors; "E: Failed to verify whole file signature" and "E: signature verification failed" in nice red letters.

I used the Unified toolkit by mskip, and got the "You hacked it!" msg, so I'm rooted as far as I know. Haven't tried any other roms before this one, but had the same error with another nightly CM 10 I downloaded.

Sure I'm doing something stupid - any help appreciated. Be gentle - my last Android device was a HTC Hero....

So I had downloaded ExynosAbuse APK v1.40 to pop root cherry well before I even consider updating to T889UVALL4 & wanted to make sure there were no issues to be aware of before proceeding.

1) ExynosAbuse APK v1.40 for rooting leaves it in unmodified status & is totally reversible-really no risk at all?

2) Recommended root method after update* to T889UVALL4 ?

Honestly with all the customization in GO Launcher & the respectable Note2 battery life I'm no longer as interested in ROMs but it's good to know I could if I need even longer battery life etc. I don't like artificial limitations so I'm still curious about rooting, what would you recommend to first do after rooting (Wi-Fi router, Titanium Backup, Avast advanced anti-theft options etc)?

I don't see why I can't use Wi-Fi router functionality on rare occasion with my data allotment & noticed T-Mobile blocked this when trying FoxFi so how difficult is this to set up following root on SGH-T889 ?

Recommendations for Wi-Fi router ( https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.googlecode.android.wifi.tether ? ), Titanium Backup, Avast root anti-theft options etc?

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] GMAN1722:
I'm trying to find out the same thing while keeping the phone status as normal. But from what i have been able to figure is that the only way to do this is by rooting using Mobile Odin. So really you are re- rooting the phone. It seems that you cannot maintain root if you used the exploit abuse because the update is what fixes the problem that enabled you to root by means of this method. Please correct me if I am wrong because I have been holding off from updating until I am sure of what I can do. as you can probably tell I don't want to go through the root process again and chance messing up anything that is already working flawlessly

Edit: I should clarify I am talking about updating via this method http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1975560 using the info from around post 205 and on

Re: [Q] ExynosAbuse APK v1.40 for first root before T889UVALL4 & first things to do?

Just use ota rootkeeper and do the ota. The exploit is simply the vector which got root installed the first time. Rootkeeper is the easiest way to reestablish root after ota.

Even if there is an issue, being root back is ridiculously easy on this device.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] GMAN1722:
Oh okay thanks. Would you happen to know if the device status would remain normal? I need that in order to be able to continue to use the Allshare dongle
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] SMARTPHONEPC:
We definitely would not be able to use the ExynosAbuse APK v1.40 after the T889UVALL4 update as it patches the exploit the apk uses but posters seem to be indicating that if done before then root could possibly be kept via https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=org.projectvoodoo.otarootkeeper , anyone confirm scenario or suggest next best alternative? - Thnx:cool:
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] kozmo21:
Yep, works fine using OTA rootkeeper.

Mine still shows normal.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] SMARTPHONEPC:
You da man kozmo21..

So step1: Download ExynosAbuse APK v1.40 & run if haven't already.

Step 3: Install OTA T889UVALL4

Step 4: Run https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=org.projectvoodoo.otarootkeeper again to restore root backup?

That easy?:D - Thnx :cool:
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] kozmo21:
Yep, that's it. As long as you use rootkeeper to make a backup of root, you're good. I did another reboot after restoring root, not sure it was necessary, but figured it couldn't hurt.

Don't think it works if you try to use kies to update, has to be a OTA download. I just got my OTA notification about an hour ago, so just wait if you haven't got it yet.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] SMARTPHONEPC:
Thanks kozmo21, just to be clear did you need to unroot with the apk after backup with OTA rootkeeper & before the OTA update (I do have the OTA download notification in my tray)?

Re: [Q] ExynosAbuse APK v1.40 for first root before T889UVALL4 & first things to do?

I havent updated either and want to root before updating. Also not sure if I'm going to keep the phone so for the sake of returning, will rooting via apk change my Device Status to Modified? Someone mentioned theirs didnt change but need more confirmation. TIA.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] SMARTPHONEPC:
Reportedly the device status will be normal not modified, I'll further confirm when I do it. Why are you thinking about returning the handset & how do you like the ASUS Transformer Pad TF700T (how limited does it feel compared to full pc-can you install Ubuntu or WIn8 on it)?

No, did not need to unroot to take the update.

Thank you sir for the reconfirmation.

---------- Post added at 04:52 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:42 PM ----------

Thanks you as well. The reason I'm thinking of returning it is the size. I was aware it's not a one handed device but playing with it at the store it felt fine till I got around to really using it now that I have it. I feel like I'm fighting to hold on to it even when I have to pick it up off a table. But really love the speed of it compared to my s3.

Asus tf700t is another story. No way you can deal with it stock. You have to run custom rom and perhaps do the data2sd mod to eliminate some of the IO issue. If smoothness is what you're looking for, its not there yet. Transition in opening apps is choppy still. Swiping between home screens and app drawer not so much. IO issue still exist at time even with the data2sd mod. The only thing making me hold on to it is the keyboard dock. Cant live without the dock and its features. But really I just use it now as a replacement laptop so I'm ok with it. There's a Ubuntu beta for the tf700t but not really interested and windows 8 is probably impossible on it but Id rather sell it and get a win 8 rather than rely on a port but win8 is so limited right now that I dont wanna bother with it. But If you dont need the dock go for the Nexus 10 (I'm testing that as well). Otherwise wait for what asus comes up with or maybe the new sony z tablet. PM me if you have any other questions so we dont clog up the thread =).

---------- Post added at 05:39 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:52 PM ----------

Ok I just did the apk and am now rooted. I didn't patch the exploit yet however. Device status still "Normal". :)

Going to DL the OTA rootkeeper to obtain root after I do the OTA. I assume I can still unroot using the ExynosAbuse app once I do the OTA?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] kozmo21:
If you need to unroot, just go to SuperSU > settings > Full unroot.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] SMARTPHONEPC:
See http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=37026912&postcount=10 for order of steps

Device status should remain normal as long as you don't use the apk to patch the exploit (only use the apk to root then back up root with OTA rootkeeper then install OTA update which will patch the Exynos exploit that the apk used to root & rerun OTA rootkeeper to restore root).

I can not confirm that you can still unroot using the ExynosAbuse apk after OTA as I will not likely do it until tomorrow (hopefully I can get a reply to http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2113053 by then). Anyone confirm this?

Regarding size, I do consider it a one-handed device but I wear large size gloves, I do find the following helpful & may make it easier for you to handle:

I use this Seidio kickstand case & often also use the following: http://www.amazon.com/StickStand-wedgi-Smartphone-Kickstand-Navigation/dp/B004EVFO1G & at times http://www.amazon.com/CellHandle-Positive-Control-Your-Phone/dp/B0073G6OM2 on the Seidio kickstand case with Go Launcher. I'll PM you when I get a chance regarding tablets.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] SMARTPHONEPC:
Good to read confirmation that full unroot is still an option in this scenario.

So is this procedure the only way to root this handset wirelessly ATM (it seems the easiest while also correcting the Exynos exploit)? - Thnx :cool:
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] kozmo21:
Yep, only way without using Odin. Couldn't be any easier to root... no computer needed.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] SMARTPHONEPC:
Thanks kozmo21, do you know if you actually "SuperSU > settings > Full unroot" from ExynosAbuse apk after the procedure whether you would still be able to restore root later from OTA RootKeeper (assuming the same original root backup in OTA RootKeeper)..?

If so would this procedure offer wireless root & unroot indefintely? - Thnx :cool:
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] kozmo21:
I would assume it would work as long as it's stays at Android version 4.1.1. Once we get an upgrade to 4.1.2 or 4.2.x , it wouldn't work anymore... just guessing?

Even if it doesn't work at some point, it's not a big deal at all to use Odin to root anyway. It only takes a couple of minutes to root using CF Auto Root... Or you could just use mrRobinson's rooted stock ROM, since you said you wanted to stay stock.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] GMAN1722:
Don't know what happened but I attempted to do the OTA using rootkeeper. After running rootkeeper I went to install the OTA and I got message saying that I couldn't do it because my phone has been modified ( which wasn't the case before). So i unrooted and then rerooted by the same ExynosAbuse apk. 1.40. I now have root again with my device status reading as normal. I also no longer have the message of the OTA being available in my notifications and when I check for software updates it starts to update the phone ( which I immediately cancelled).

Edit: re-traced my steps and everything works as advertised. I am now rooted with a device status of normal. Thanx fellas.

Re: [Q] ExynosAbuse APK v1.40 for first root before T889UVALL4 & first things to do?

I think I messed up. I followed the previous steps recommended, and when I open Supersu, it states I need to update binary. When I do that it states installation failed! Any advice? After the samsung update installed, I updated to supersu pro, then tried to restore root on ota rootkeeper. I think that's where I messed things up. I appreciate any advice.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] kozmo21:
If you're having problems restoring root with ota rootkeeper, just use CF-Auto-Root to get root again... or you can use the Galaxy Note 2 toolkit... either way is quick and easy.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] SMARTPHONEPC:
Hey so I rooted with Exynos Abuse & Protected root in OTA RootKeeper (before I even opened SuperSU) & when I did open SuperSU (before the OTA update) it pops up "The SU binary needs to be updated. Continue?" but I hit cancel to clarify best move. Should I delete su backup in OTA RootKeeper & then update SU binary in SuperSU & then protect root again in OTA RootKeeper to have a backup with updated SU binary before I install the OTA update (that began to get very nagging prompting me to start this process earlier than expected..)? -Thnx:cool:

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] kozmo21:
I don't remember having the update binary thing? Anyway, I would go with the way you were thinking... delete su backup, update binary, then backup again. Sounds like that would have kept vandoc from having problems?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] SMARTPHONEPC:
Below is the updated steps that worked for me:

Step1: Install ExynosAbuse APK v1.40 & Run SuperSU & update SU binary if prompted.

Step2: Install & Run https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=org.projectvoodoo.otarootkeeper & select protect root.

Step 3: Install OTA T889UVALL4

Step 4: Run https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=org.projectvoodoo.otarootkeeper again to restore root backup?

I'm not sure when it happened but my device status changed from normal to modified (I did the OTA using OTA RootKeeper and device status was normal for about two days). The only thing I did after that was open SuperSU and noticed that it stated that I needed that to update the binary. I just cancelled that and when I checked I noticed that the device status was changed:confused: So my question is does anybody have any idea how I can be rooted with the device status reading as normal with the T889UVALL4 update?. Are there any other options for me to be rooted with a device status of normal?

Hi,

I'm curious why development of CM is faster on some phones than others. The now quite old Samsung Galaxy S is storming ahead of the HTC Sensation having had CM10.1 nightlies for quite some time compared to our recent CM10 nightlies. Is it simply more of them were sold and therefore more devs own them or is it more down to sharing hardware with other phones increasing the impact of development on certain phones?

This is not a moan. I'd like to understand it. :)

Guys

I flashed a ROM from Spain using Odin (I9300XXDLIH, 4.2.1 from Samfirmware) into my S3 (GT-I9300 bought in Brazil) and it works by 1 month. Then my phone starts to crash or boot by itself and finally it stop boot into Samsung screen.

I have access to Download screen, but I have NO access to recovery screen.

Now, I tried to flash a new ROM and Odin says that it has no partition. The phone doesn’t charge anymore (I need to charge using a friend’s phone).

I tried flash an old version (4.0.4) but every time I get “no PIT partition” from Odin. I also tried to flash from different version of Odin and same results.

Is there any way to solve this without getting a Service Center? Here in Brazil is difficult to find JTAG service, so I need some home solution.
